Summary:
Starting from Mendel's famous experiments, this work develops ideas on genetics and evolution through the historical understanding of patterns of inheritance, of how cells are structured and how they function at molecular level. Central to this is the way DNA, the hereditary material, controls and directs all aspects of cellular activity. The book shows how this knowledge is used in current developments within the field of genetic engineering and how it has been used to explain the theory of evolution.
